    Once i was sat in a lane turning right when a car coming in the opposite direction overtook the car in front of him, which meant he was coming directly at me!

    He was in a sh!tty 1.0 litre little thing and i knew he wasn't going to get back in in time. I slammed my motor into reverse and shot backwards giving him space to get back in - accident averted.

    However, the red mist set in and i 180'd to follow him. I caught him, signalled him to pull over to give him a jolly good telling off. He duly pulled over, got out and keep towards me.

    He was a man mountain and i am not ashamed to admit i bricked it. I promptly gave him the finger and roared off.

    Exactly the reason why it's best not to get involved ... you never know who you're messing with!!!

    What a ridiculous carry on.

    Why not just let him in to the queue ? Whats your problem OP ? As someone has already mentioned, he could have been lost and got in the wrong lane by mistake, if he didn't, so what ?

    I'd rather let someone in than encounter someone like the OP ! Next time this happens, you might not be so lucky, the other driver might not race off. You might get beaten to a pulp, or worse. Is it really worth it ?

    He wasn't lost. He was the typical impatient idiot who thought he could skip the queue and barge in.

    If he had slipped past slow with his indicator on i would have let him in. The fact he came hammering up and then saw a small gap and just shoved in front of me is what !!!!ed me off.

    And yes, I thought it was worth it.

    Ah! a poor mans Audi A3, junior copier engineer, no wonder he was in a hurry, there is always a photocopier somewhere with a jammed toner cartridge needing a hero.

    To be fair, the OP was in a Fiesta and came across as equally impatient.

    That space in front of his car was sooooo precious.

    You are missing the point.

    I really don't think there is a point.
